Startiing box 3

I finished box 4 in row 1 by adding glow in the dark beads in eerie gray. Next I filled in the background of box 3 with horizontal double brick stitch using Neon Rays + 83. The mouth is tent stitched with Neon Rays ++ 74 and 80. The mouth is padded satin stitches and long stitches in Neon Rays 119.

Row 1 Box 4 continues

I am working on the background with Neon Rays + in Woven Stitch and added a photo of how he glows in the dark.

Getting started

I have organized the thread pile and started on Row 1, box 4--the ghost. He is outlined with Neon Rays + 304 and filling him in with Diagonal Cashmere with Neon Rays +300. His eyes are eyelet stitches in the same orange.

Finished

Boooo! is finished. I added glow in the dark beads too. One photo is showing some of the hints of green but it needs to be darker for the full effect!

I forgot to post yesterday. I finished the letters and started a ghost-of course he will glow in the dark!

The last thing

I was waiting for my spiders and they came in the mail. Drink #2 is finished and so the whole canvas is completed!

Thursday, October 16, 2025

Another one framed

I added more glow in the dark background so this Trick or Treat by My Pink Sugar Life would fit in this frame we found at Home Goods. Love the skulls!

Wednesday, October 15, 2025

Another one finished

Freda's Fancies Subtlety in Blue-changed to black- is now in a Sudberry box and ready to gift.

Tuesday, October 14, 2025

Another one done!

Found this frame at Home Goods so I added extra stripes for the ghost by My Pink Sugar Life.
And he glows in the dark!

Monday, October 13, 2025

More background

I started the background behind the words....this is going to take a couple of days!

Saturday, October 4, 2025

A lot

First I finished the black and orange border at the bottom and then I got past drink 4!

Just blue

Today was all blue background as I need to have all that done before I do the drinks.

Saturday, September 27, 2025

Progress

I stitched more blue around the first drink and then finished the orange and black squares above the Pick your Poison. I then did the rest of the left border in the squares instead of as painted.

Friday, September 26, 2025

Here and there

I finished the solid orange border around the top, I started the orange and black squares above the words and then added some more of blue background on the left.

Thursday, September 25, 2025

There!

Ripped the orange border and have started using satin stitches instead. Worked on more of the blue too.

Wednesday, September 24, 2025

Blooper

So I worked a bit more of the blue background and then moved back to the outside border doing scotch stitches over 4 but unfortunately, I can't count and it doesn't fit. I would end up with two threads left and I don't want a partial stitch. So I will be ripping the orange stitches.

Tuesday, September 23, 2025

Two views

I completed the blue border all the way around and then added a few rows of the blue inside background using the same stitch and thread as the inner border. I did two shots so you can see the stitch.

Monday, September 22, 2025

Black and Blue

The black outside border is done. I have started the next blue border and am 3/4 across the top.

Sunday, September 21, 2025

Getting started

I started with the black outside border--the right side, across the top and 3/4 down the left side are done.

Saturday, September 20, 2025

Let's start another project!

This is the next project! Pick your Poison is by Pepperberry Designs. It is a 7 x 16 design on 13 count. I purchased it and these threads from The Wool & The Floss as they are having a trunk show of Pepperberry Designs! I will start figuring out some fun stitches.
